REASONING FROM FACTS.

Mr. Robert N. Trimble, of Mt. Sterling
Kentucky, is again in the city. His last
visit prior to this was in April, and during
his absence some of his friends would oc-
casionally intimate TO him that lie would
probably lose money by being so firm a
friend of Wichita The sly hints, how
ever, were of little effect to man who had
been in the city and state and who is per
fsctiy familiar with the forces that have
made the city and which will continue to
keep it in the lead of Kansas cities and
make it more and more the metropolis Of
the great southwest. When the sly hint
was given, Mr. Trimble was not at all re-
luctant in giving some data from which he
drew his conclusions. Some could see and
some could not see the way he did, but he
would always remind them that seeing
Wichita was believing, and if they wanted
to be relieved of the alarm they felt for
him they must visit the most rapidly
growing city of the continent-Wichita.
Mr. Trimble's few months absence has
given him good opportunity to
note on his return the many
new buildings constructed since April and
the many other improvements that have
been made in the city In speaking of
this fea ture last evening he commenced TO
name some of the fine brick blocks that
have been completed since April, many Of
which at that date had not been commenced
and also to name those not yet completed
that are to be seen in the various degrees of
completion from foundation to roofing and
plaStering. Soon after commencing some
one says that's So had forgotten about
that building being so recently built"
AS he went down the list in an impromptu
sort of way the fellows would look at each
other and seemed surprised at such rapid
development All had spent the summer
here and none had really taken the time
lately to think of the summers improve
ments. Where but a few months ago stood
frame shanty now is the magnificent
brick block just in keeping with the others
by its side. The four and five story blocks
for beauty and value are not
equaled in any other city OF
the state and all in great demand
among business men anxious for a bust
ness room, was one of the striking features
Mr. Trimble did not fail to observe. An
instance cited was the Schweiter- Moss
hacker block on East Douglas. Before the
plastering had been completed on the first
floor, that room being occupied by a man
with full line Of goods and fill orders
with a,,rapidity that would causing the man
not familiar with Wichita's way of doing
things, think he had been engaged in
business for years at that point
The business feature of the city Mr..
Trimble considered one of the very best
indications of the city. He considered the
business of city grand thermometer by
which to judge Of city's true merits.
Judging of Wichita from that showing
and but one consideration could he de
Quoted. In letter to friend Mr.. Trimble
stated that he would rather invest in
Wichita than in any other city in the coun-
try, and if American cities took tumble
Wichita would be the last to fall.
Mr.. Trimble will remain in the city some
days attending TO business matters.
